No low here, it's stud high ;)I check-call trips if it looks like I'm up against a flush or straight draw, but there isn't much danger here, so I bet/call/curse. The limit's low enough that you might get raised by aces up.

My sincere apologies, I had not received the memo. Turd's not going to beat my door down and pistol whip me, is he?

Starting to get towards the bubble, the guy to my immediate right has just lost an all-in race with the guy to my left. Average stack was about 12k at that point, I believe. The following hand comes up:Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem TournamentBlinds: t250/t500(Ante: t50)8 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: t25728UTG+1: t3024MP1: t18428MP2: t7840CO: t14497Hero: t20380SB: t10520BB: t6280Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is Button with Q Q 4 folds, CO raises all-in t14447, Hero calls t14447, 2 folds.My question is, based on the current situation, do I have a fold here? I don't think he always has to hav

9+ to anything involving Howard.

Matt Savage is rigged. Did anyone notice the hand where Katie rivered a straight but her opponent was given the pot? Matusow noticed, but the dealer and TD didn't...

I think they only showed 10 hands. I'm sure (not positive, but pretty sure) there was more play than they showed. I seem to remember the chip lead changing at commercial occasionally.

Brings new meaning to the term "bad beat", eh?

To cope with boredom, I ponder all of the different ways one might kill a spammer. There's more than one way to skin a scumbag. I knew a chick that would do that to you for 25 bucks.

Kaplan has a very dry sense of humor. Some get him, some don't.

Touche Costmart.

He was playing Pai Gow 3 handed with Mike Matusow and Evelyn. Evelyn suggested that Mike should make a minimum bet because it would assure that David couldn't win. She phrased it like, "If I was you, I'd bet $100." David accused them of collusion (which it sorta was) and got pretty heated.

Your English is better than a high percentage of the posters here .Don't see as many flops as you are seeing. Try to avoid small pairs, especially out of position. Small pairs make small full houses, and those are death. I see a lot of flops in PLO, but in position. It is much harder to control the pot size out of position. The hands that I prefer preflop are connecting cards and double-suited big cards. Connecting cards (like j-10-9-8, q-j-10-9, etc.) are nice because they have a lot of possibilities. Big pairs are the most overrated hands in omaha. I almost never raise with them so that when

Hand one I play because most of the monkeys that I play with have a bug in their software that prevents the fold button from displaying when they have a pair of aces in their hand. It will cost you money if you get oversetted, but if you are deep enough, you should be able to get information without committing all of your chips.Hand 2, I hate a raise on the river with an underfull unless you are sure it's for value (and I don't really know how you can be sure here). Based on the line shown, it could be, but you are likely just raising out a bluff. You aren't getting a better hand to fold, but

Well, I couldn't think of anything that would have made a play like this that could beat me, at this level, I think kings full usually waits till the river to raise (correctly or otherwise), which is why I decided to call. Once P1 started thinking I was almost positive I was not up against kings full, since that leaves the case king (if it's a tough decision, I'm almost positive P1 has a king), and one of 4 other cards that must be in villain's hand to beat me. It turns out that villain had flopped a set of fives and was vastly overplaying them. P1 had A K J 10, I believe (no suits, of course

Good idea that you changed your mind, especially if you have become friendly with a lot of the people. You don't want to lose a friend because you decided not to give some of HIS money back, too.

I got excited when I thought you guys were talking about a videogame version of the Pamela Anderson TV show. Ahh, dare to dream. Wait, I never watched that show, I have no idea what a library would be doing in a video game.

You have to learn to separate the game from the people, to the extent that you can. Inevitably, if you play at the same place a lot, you will start to become friendly with the people in the game. However, you can't feel bad when you beat them, even if you consider them a friend. Rest assured that they won't be giving you any refunds when they beat you. If you feel bad for the guy you stacked off, it might be a good idea to talk to him about playing with money he can't afford to lose.

I look young too, and I've only been carded playing pit games, and only in a few casinos (Harrah's carded me when I went to cash out my chips... I have no idea why). But, poop occurs.

I actually enjoy Gabe Kaplan's commentary. The main reason that he's not playing is that he's mostly a limit hold 'em player, so he'd be out of his element playing here. Kaplan has been a poker commentator for years, he used to do the WSOP...

Don't ever play in a casino with any kind of jackpot (bad beat or high hand) if you decide that you are going to play there underage (note, I do not recommend this, you can wait, lots of us have). A guy I played with had to fold a royal flush because they have a high hand one place where I play. Oh, and if a bad beat jackpot hits, your table share will get divided up among the rest of the people at the table.

well played, tough to get too far without much action on your big hands. nicely done though. I'll try to stay off of sympathy tilt since you turned out okay.

I think there's one guy that plays 10-20ish, not sure though.

I'd prefer a medium raise over all in. I don't see any reason for that big an overbet. You don't really want to give the minraiser all of your chips in an attempt to isolate a small stack. It's okay to make a sizeable raise, though this might be a flat call, check it down situation. BTW, minraiser's call is terrible.

If he had anything other than a bigger flush draw, I'm all for the gambool, but 76 is a dog according to my numbers here.

I understand that you can't fold, but I hate the bet and I really wish the guy with the queen had bet the turn so he could have folded then.
